History
Illabo Post Office opened on 1 July 1879.[3] A railway station on the Main South railway served the town between 1878 and the 1970s.[4] A grain silo remains in use. The town name is said to derive from an Aboriginal word meaning "where", but other sources derive it as a clipping of billabong.[5][2]
